Gpop,
Time flies by us but not a minute or day goes by without thinking of you and all our loved ones. The kids remember you and you are mentioned often. Its really cute and Im glad you had the opportunity to have a relationship with them. It was always a pleasure to see you interact with them. Hope you are telling gmom all about them :). Can't believe a year has gone by.
We ALL love you and miss you alot. (p.s.) the kids miss the "finger" story nobody tells it like you.
Love Always & Forever,
TJ, Jess, TJII, Ellie

Hey there Pop, my favorite day of the year is coming up, Thanksgiving! It is going to be a tough one, the first one without you. I can't get the image of you out of my mind sitting at the head of the table looking down at all of us, the kids, the grandkids, and the great grandkids that you and gmom made together with a big ole smile on your face, giving me the peace sign as i take pictures of the table! Don't worry though, I will be sure to have some extra red wine just for you :)

Thank you for working so hard so you could provide for us Dad. You worked such long hours in such miserable conditions for us. I will miss your silliness the most. I like to think each and everyone of your kids and grandkids inherited your sense of fun from you. You might not have been a man of many words or a man that shared emotion; but you always managed to let your family know how much you loved us and how much you cherished us. Love you dad. I miss you so much already. Please give mom a huge hug and kiss for me.

We have a lot of memories Pop! From you teaching me how to play poker at age 5, walks to the playground, letting me 'drive' your truck on your lap, casino trips, holidays, birthdays, coffee and wine talks, ahh so many memories I can't write them all down. But at the center of them all was you, Pop! We loved being around you, even if you did tell the same story over, over again. Give Gmom a hug and kiss from me. I miss you guys, my buddies. Until we meet again Pop, love always, Danielle

Karen, John, Joe and Nicole, I'm so sorry your Dad passed. I know how much he meant to all of you and all of you to him. He was a wonderful man. I feel fortunate that I was lucky enough to know him. Cherish all of your memories of him.
Love, Christy
